Love the enthusiasm but losing new listeners
Just listened to 3 episodes after watching the first 4 Disney specials and I like the show, but you keep loosing me. I think the show would be more fun if you didn’t assume quite as much knowledge and retention on our part as listeners. As an example, this last episode you were going on about how all the Doctors Bi-generated and now we may have old Doctors and somehow companions back , and if you explained how you came to that , I completely missed it. Then you start talking about some old character showing up Mel maybe? , something like that, And of course I have no idea who you’re talking about. I’ve seen every modern Dr and all the classics up to season 5 so far but I have no clue who you were talking about. My point is, I think the show would be even better if you simply explained yourself to the audience a little more often. We don’t for example know all the actors names, we’re fans , we’re not in show business, so when you start to talk about an actor it would be very helpful if you told us, the audience , what part that person played and give us some reminders of the character. Just telling me she played Mel doesn’t help if I don’t know Mel is a former companion or don’t remember Mel’s name but remember the character. Also you have your discussion right after watching the episode but we may be a week or 2 since. It would be again helpful if you would give us, the audience, some quick reminders about the episode for context. You’re often 3/4 of the way through the discussion before I can even remember the part of the episode you’re talking about because the discussion lacks any meaningful context until that point. You started about a “bad” Doctor and Donna and I was completely lost until I realized you were discussing the aliens at the end of the universe. I realized the format is you, the hosts, talking to each other but I think you need to have a few more “ turn to the camera” moments so to speak, to keep us listeners in loop. Look forward to the next episode! Thanks

More reviews of The Official Doctor Who Podcast
What a great podcast to listen to after watching the Star Beast! I loved RTD walking us through (some of) the Easter eggs. I love how diverse the panelists were and how well they handled the conversation on Rose. Just a wonderful reminder of the joy of Doctor Who!

Read Nietzsche Read Heidegger Read Sartre Read Camus If there are no absolutes. If we create ourselves We are a useless passion. We come from nothing and go to nothing. Live as if you are ultimately nothing.
